Shutterstock By Garri Chaverst/Nov. 21, 2019 3:45 pm EST Anyone who says they’ve never heard of the toothpaste-on-a-pimple trick is a boldface liar or was simply blessed with perfect skin.

Ever since Rae Carson’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker novelization was released on March 17, fans have been surprised by the number of important storytelling details and plot points which were left out of the film.

As Kevin Feige has noted, casting Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark carried so much risk but resulted in laying the foundation for one of the most successful shared universes in film.
